Ings and Keane Gear Up For U21 Euros

20 May 2015

Burnley duo Danny Ings and Michael Keane have both been named in Gareth Southgate’s initial 27-man squad for this summer’s UEFA European U21 Championship finals.

England, who will later shortlist the squad to 23 names, have been drawn in Group B alongside Italy, Sweden and Portugal, who they face in their opening fixture on Thursday, June 18th 2015 (8.45pm KO).

Keane, 22, has represented England in the competition before, helping the U19’s reach the semi-finals in 2012.

The defender has racked up 16 appearances for the U21’s, scoring three goals in the process, one less than Ings’ tally of four in nine appearances.
